Timothy Zahn should just write his Thrawn stories and don't give a fuck about any shows or canons, just give us Thrawn and Eli and the rest of them pls

I don't normally jump on these trains, but it's disheartening how Disney seems to think the fans of their shows are not the same audience that reads these books, or (perhaps more likely) willfully ignores the overlap between the demographics. While I am admittedly not the biggest fan of the direction the novels have taken with hero!Thrawn, to not involve Zahn at any level, to give the impression of not having a single script supervisor who has read/cares about the Thrawn stans who consume all his new content, and to decide to repurpose/warp Legends!Thrawn while ignoring the compelling characters that ARE DISNEY CANON that already EXIST in this timeline is quite simply baffling.

Anyway...

i know there’s more than this out there but it really is incredible that people will look at a fictional character someone else wrote and collectively say “I will write you a hundred happy endings.”

Well, I’m a little older so my icon at AO3 looks like this:
